15 As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
16 And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

19 A dissension rose again among the Jews for these words.
20 And many of them said: He hath a devil and is mad. Why hear you him?
21 Others said: These are not the words of one that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?
